MADE LIFE SIMPLE
I have a 75lbs Pit Bella and I'm a woman only 5'2" so almost impossible for me to lift her! She had kness surgery and was it was critical that she not go up and down stairs due to plates and pins placed in her leg for 2 weeks. I have 3 steps out my back door so had to get her in and out without using them. This harness made her comfortable and made assisting her so easy for me. Best investment ever!!!!

EXCELLENT
I bought this harness to help lift and support a 70 pound retriever mix with hip displasia. He had surgery on both back knees years ago and could no longer fully support himself at some times. I looked locally and could not find a full body support system to help me keep some of his weight off; This harness fit every need I have for him perfectly!

Great harness; easy to use; sturdy
Rear harness is great for helping my dog with knee problems get up the stairs. Sturdy handle and great quality overall. Full size one will be used for getting in and out of the car. Took at bit to figure out how it goes on and, even though dog is a large dog, the medium was a better fit. Overall, great product.

Answer:

Yes! I have left mine on our 14 year old 70 lb Bearded Collie 24/7 at times. I figure its safer for him and myself. I do take the hind end off when he sleeps. But if I ever have someone here staying with him... I dont take it off. For the caregivers safety as well as my dogs.!!

My dog was 19 years old and she used a similar lift for 5 years. We always took it off nightly to prevent pressure sores. It was a very effective product and it helped keep our beautiful golden mobile.

Thank you for your inquiry to Drs. Foster and Smith. The Comfort Lift Carrier 9N-25270 is designed to help you lift the entire weight of your pet. The outer material is cordura and the inner is imitation lamb’s wool. As stronger material is needed in order to hold the weight of the pet we do not suggest leaving the item on your pet as it could make your pet too warm.

When we put the full body harness on our dog she won't go out to the bathroom. If we put the front and rear parts on and leave off the straps between her legs we are still able to use the handles to lift her up the stairs but she seems to like it better this way. Vet said she can no longer climb stairs due to arthritis in both her rear legs. I just wanted to make sure she was getting the support and it wasn't hurting her back in any way if we don't use the straps between her legs.

Thank you for your interest in Drs. Foster and Smith. We do not suggest using the Solvit CareLift™ Lifting Harness for Dogs without the legs in the brace as it may result in injury to your pet. The legs brace takes some of the pressure of lifting your pet off the stomach.Lrb

My 75lbs collie is having a lot of accidents in the house in between after meals potty breaks. She just refuses to go down the stairs when it's not "regular" potty breaks (ie after meals). We help her get up the stairs well enough (though this will probably make it much easier), but what I really need is something to get her down the stairs when she's being very difficult about it. Will this help make going down the stairs easier?

Answer:

We have a 100lb Rottweiler that has the full body harness. It takes two to get him down the stairs, but it can be done. I would not recommend trying it with just one person or with only the rear harness. GOOD LUCK
